And the finest example is San diego. Marty created the most disciplined team in football. Flawless. That's what mart did best. Norv completely dismantled it. Like Romeo, norv is a good guy who just has no concept of motivating players.

You really think that motivation is a problem for Romeo though? I think he'll have his issues, but I don't think Motivation will be one of them.

I never really watched the browns (who the **** watches the browns?) so i can't say what kind of HC he'd be. But i have seen his D's play, and they play hard for him.

Herm wasn't a guy that could take your team deep into the playoffs. And I think any gm knows it would be a wildly unpopular hire given his track record in kc.

I wouldn't hire him if I were a gm. But that doesn't mean he's nearly as bad a coach as everyone wants him to be. Again, I'm not saying he was a great coach for kc. I'm saying he was a great coach to usher in the rebuild.

Because he had the balls to get rid of all the aging brokedick Vermeil players and start with a fresh foundation?

I guess. And I thank him for that. But if he was any kind of head coach, he would have had more success with the rebuild than he did.

Holy shit. I expected that guy to be a brilliant offensive coordinator. Lots of people did. Never before have I seen a coach with such high expectations from the fans fail so miserably to even sniff them.

I was skeptical about Solari.

I never saw him as some great O-Line guru.

The fact is, he was a guy that schemed the blocking for a team with one of teh best O-Lines the NFL has ever seen, and the only guy that developed into a great O-Lineman while he was the O-Line coach was Brian Waters, and the responsibility for teaching technique was the asst. O-Line coach.

Skeptical really isn't the correct word.

I thought it was stupidity.

Ok. Sure, that's a possibility.

OR

Maybe this team is ready for a HC like Romeo. Maybe Haley came in and was exactly what they needed. He got them into shape and taught them how to take care of their bodies. Taught them to be tough. But he ran his coarse.

Ever thought this team's core talent is old enough now, mature enough, with enough NFL experience to not need someone to scream at them? Maybe their ready for someone who will treat them like men?

Maybe not.

So why argue with such certainty that this team will be worse off? We have no idea. These aren't the ****ing cleveland Browns. Compadre, if he proves he's a failure, i'm sure there will be plenty of time to bitch about it.

Truth is it doesn't matter. HC and OC don't matter when your QB is Matt Cassel.

Great coaches demand perfection.

Look at the SB winners.

Not many Dick Vermeil's in there.

The Lombardi's, The Landry's, the Bellichick's, the Parcells' types are the ones that win.

I watched a team under RC give the Packers their only loss of the season, and were 1 blocked fg from being 3-0 underneath him. If that is not motivation I don't know what is.

This always happens. Especially for players. Even at our offices. You have an asshole boss and you LOVE it when the finally hire the good guy. If the new guy doesn't run a tight ship, you start taking a day off or two. The. You realize he doesn't care or notice so you take another.

I think next year, the players play real hard for Romeo. Harder than they ever played for Haley. But I think after that, you'll really see if Romeo can keep that motivation going. I think what you saw with norv in sd is exactly what we'll see in kc, except that Romeo will have less talent to work with.
